3.5/4

Outstanding! I used 5 lbs plums to fill an oval Le Creuset, but didn't change anything else. I can see where the biscuit topping might overwhelm a 9x13, but the larger dish held them nicely. This is going into my regular repertoire.

I used sweet pluots and some plums that were still quite tart, but otherwise followed the recipe and the cobbler turned out great! I made some biscuits from the extra batter which turned out amazing also.

I halved the recipe as I had a dozen or so very small quetsches (oval, dark purple plums available here in France) that weren't very tasty to eat raw. I substituted creme fraiche for whipping cream, increased the cinnamon and added an equal amount of nutmeg which i LOVE. It is FANTASTIC! The bisuits are light and fluffy, the sugar level is perfect (i.e. not too sweet, but that's obviously easy to adjust for personal tastes) and the underside of the biscuit actually cooked! (usually the problem for me with other cobblers). Great, simple recipe. A keeper.

Didn't think this was worth the work. Biscuits not
very tasty.

This was VERY sweet. Maybe my plums were too ripe, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for something this sweet. I might try it again because I love plums in desert and this SOUNDS very tasty.

Delicious. I
substituted whole milk
for the whipping cream
and still was tasty.

very tasty way to use this year's plum
harvest, but next time i'll make 1.5x the
amount of filling because the biscuit to fruit
ratio was off, even with the addition of two
sliced apples. level of sweetness was
exactly right.

Brought it to a Labor Day picnic. Was a big hit. Glorious way to use fresh plums.
